    We show the estimable rational addiction model tends to yield spurious evidence in favor of the rational addiction hypothesis when aggregate data are used. Direct application of the canonical model yields results seemingly indicative that non-addictive commodities such as milk, eggs, and oranges are rationally addictive.

    This is literally a study about how to get bad conclusions from this model of addiction. It’s supposed to be ridiculous.

      That’s my mistake! Had company and posted something I didn’t read. My apologies. Maybe I can learn something from this article then.
